So on my last gallon I filled my jug up and decided to try out my syringe style mixer I got from Tractor Supply. I drew up two tubes of what they labeled 32:1. Turns out I needed to do four tubes, not two. I've been hotrodding for the last three days on a 64:1 mix and still have over half a tank in the bike. Just checked the plug and it looks good but with some deposits that just now showed up. It is also running rich but I'm not going to complain. I'm still having a slight oil drip on the muffler but it isn't nearly as bad as when I first started running the new mix.
I've been using 87 octane from shell and just switched over to Quicksilver all purpose because that was the only thing around. I was thinking about going to Amsoil Saber but the bike seems to be running well on this. At a 64:1 I don't mind the price of the expensive oil if it is working.
Boy did I get lucky. The engine wouldn't have survived the oil I was using before.
